Playing With Dad

It seems like anytime Matt is lying down (the floor, the couch, the bed) it is a signal for all the kids nearby to come and jump on him, wrestle him, or throw pillows at him. It must be a signal that emanates from him as it isn't just our kids that do this--cousins, visiting friends, etc all join in. (OK, it could be that Matt loves it--even if he doesn't always admit to it).

Another favorite game is to yell for help when they get trapped. Sometimes Matt traps them, sometimes they put themselves in a position and pretend they are trapped (or move Matt's arms/legs so they are trapped).

The other day Matt was on the couch and Caroline and Alex ran over. Caroline was pretending to be Alex's baby and she layed on Matt. When she got trapped, Alex ran to the rescue.
